Harishji himself has thanked each one of you for your overwhelming support and continuous patronage.

Let us pray that may this year bring Harishji lots of success and prosperity and may he continue to enthrall all of us with his creative astuteness and cinematic brilliance.

Sooraj Barjatya to wait for Salman for his next project

From the time, Sooraj Barjatya announced his next directorial venture with Salman Khan, there have been too much of speculation on the project. Considering the fact that Salman is busy with his current assignments, few felt that it would be a long wait for Sooraj. However, Sooraj reveals that they plan to start the film by the end of this year but at the same time he is equally worried about Salman's health. 

Speaking to a leading daily, the 47 year old director says " Salman is the perfect Prem for my story which I’m still developing. But now, after reading about his health, I’m worried. I don’t want to risk his health for my movie,” says Sooraj, adding, “I don’t mind waiting for him for two to three years if that’s what it will take for him to get cured.”.

The director currently penning the script is yet to give a formal narration to Salman but considering the association Salman shares with the banner, he feels the same is just a formality. He adds “I met Salman with a one-line story idea. He liked it and agreed to shoot in December-January (2013). I still have to show him the final script, but given our association, it will only remain a formality.”

Sooraj Barjatya is back with his eternal Prem !

After so much of conjecture about his upcoming project, Sooraj Barjatya has revealed that his next film shall star Salman Khan for which he is currently writing the script. Talking to a news daily, the director says " I’ll finish the script before the end of this year. Yes, the role is being written for Salman.

My priority at the moment is that Salman should get back in shape.” (Salman recently flew to US to get treatment for a neurological disorder.).

Harishji & Atalji - Yeh Jodi Hai No. 1...

Friends, we hope everything is fine at your end. We are sure you would be a tad disappointed on Harishji not winning the award for Best Cinematography at the 2nd PTC Punjabi Film Awards. Well, may be God has some better plans! May be a National Award beckons the great man.

Yesterday we had this opportunity to meet Shri Aash Karan Atalji (dialogue writer in Vivah) along with Surendra Sharma and Sampat Saral. You feel blessed when you find yourself in the company of such great poets and intellects. Atalji was so kind and the warmth he extended to us was beyond words.

Amidst our discussion of poetry and cinema, Harishji's cinematic genius could still find a place. Atalji had only good things and some lovely experiences to share as far as Harishji is concerned. Atalji recalled how old his association with Harishji is and how they have enjoyed each other's success. We could easily gauge the mutual respect. It was truly an experience of a lifetime.

We thank Atalji and Harishji for an excellent evening which was filled with humour and satire.

Remembering "Bapuji" - Tribute by the Legend

Our father didn't tell us how to live; he lived, and let us watch him do it and today we find ourselves to be a so contented and above all a good human as he would have liked us to be…

These thoughts can be related easily to Harishji and his younger brother Niteshji.  Niteshji has shared some beautiful yet so touching snaps which echoes the fact that Bapuji (as they would call their late father) has been a guiding force and a beacon that they looked up to.

Well, we can only say, Bapuji would have been so proud today to see you so successful yet so humble.

At last, Niteshji, thanks for sharing these lovely snaps and such beautiful memories!!!

 Bapuji -“When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.” Bapuji, we miss you !!!

 Mummy – “Who ran to help me when I fell, or kissed the place to make it well? ....My mother.” A proud mother of a proud son!!!

Bapuji With His Camera – “A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.” Just the way “Bapuji” used to do…

 Bapuji Capturing a Shot From Top of The Car - "There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist or in this case a legendary photographer.”

Bapuji With Kids-“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

Like Father Like Son

As the old adage goes, a father leaves his legacy behind with the good hearts and souls of the children and when you ponder upon the success and achievements of Harishji, we only realize how true it is. Harishji’s father Shri Chanduji was a legendary cinematographer and a still photographer who has been an inspiration to many in his era and was one of the finest cameramen to have ever graced Indian Cinema. He was an accomplished DOP in his own league and was ahead of his time with several path breaking films and stunning visuals. Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph can lure our sense of awareness and Chanduji was one of them. With his spellbound photography and extravagant cinematic genius, he has left his legacy behind with films like Howrah Bridge, Mughal – E- Azam , Ziddi and Kashmir Ki Kali to name a few.

He was a guiding force behind Harishji’s success and inspired him to better his work with the best and move on with life. Harishji believes that the values and moral ethics which were inculcated by his Dad have only made him a better individual and a far greater human. Here’s a small message / poetry which conveys Harishji’s regards and tributes to his legendary father without whom he would have not been what he is !!!

Thank you Dad for always being there for being strong, yet showing you cared.

For being my protector and setting the rules for the rides, the money and the help with school.

For all the times I was grounded for my own good I may not have been happy, but I always understood

That I am lucky to be one of the few to have a Dad that loves me as much as you do.
